    Will be watching to see how these turn out. Anyone know the cost for this kit in U.S. dollars?

    Stef has put in an incredible amount of time and effort into the R&D for this kit. I'm getting one as we speak btw (I know Tio, I'm late again). Then again Stef is known also for is OCD when it comes to getting things right.

    I installed these same bulbs around a year ago in my Scuderia. The stock bulb burned randomly due to heat. LED run cooler and light up brighter for tail lights and stop lights.

    Waiting for a kit I ordered last week to convert the front angel eyes out of their ugly Yellow.

    Looking at the conversion rate, comes to about $625

    Hi guys

    I have managed to install them yesterday.
    It took me less that 90 minutes and 2 cups of coffee and a pepsi max and I am by no means an expert.
    The procedure was straight forward and just a simple swap.

    Here are some comparison pictures.
    The LED bulbs are on the right side of the car.
    It is visible that they are brighter but in real life the purity, clarity and brightness of the lights is so much more vivid.

    Pictures don't do it justice.

    I have a small video clip as well but I seem to have trouble uploading it.

    Kudos to your sleuthing out a low cost solution! We need more guys like you!
    Great idea if you are in pursuit of an LED setup for the sake of the LED. I was under the impression that guys were after the "effect" of a radial "halo" which means that the substrate that the diodes are on would be circular and a circular array on one plane was the goal. If there are no brainer locations, no drilling, to mount the resistors I could be tempted to try but why bother?


    ...and Harry, I love your license plate!!!!

    I have recently (last year) updated every single bulb on the car to LED and installed the resistors where necessary. That said, I am tempted by Steffs kit as it illuminates all lenses which is how I think it should be.

    +1. The four lenses illumination just look so fitting.
